The Opportunity

Our built environment and engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex due to changes in use, new legislation, emergent developments, or disruptions from new technologies. The risks to society from complex technical and engineering system failures are constantly evolving. Our risk, security, and resilience practice has been helping organizations understand their exposure to threats and make better risk-informed decisions since the mid-1990s.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective that encourages individuality. We respect, share, and connect diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas. You will have opportunities to do meaningful, socially useful work that impacts our clients and communities.

Is this role right for you?

You will provide technical safety and risk management on projects across various industries.

Requirements:

• Experience managing and delivering technical safety and risk management projects, with client relationship management and business development skills.
• Leadership experience in technical safety and risk assessment in regulated industries (e.g., chemical, nuclear, railway, built environment).
• Proficiency in risk analysis techniques such as hazard identification, hazard management, functional safety assessment, FMEA, and fault tree analysis.
• Background in safety assessment throughout the lifecycle of complex systems, infrastructure, or major hazard facilities.
• Knowledge of relevant international and industry standards and legislation (e.g., DSEAR, ATEX, COMAH, RIDDOR, NFPA, API, IFC, CSM RA, ROGS).
